#thisboislife

this is what happens when i’m playing on the internet instead of doing my homework, and going to sleep like i have some damn sense. @femme_n_blk challenged me with a riddle, and i got it wrong. so as per the rules, she got to choose a photo for me to repost. and bc i’m a good sport even when i lose, i’m doing it. . i think it’s funny that this is the one she chose. 1. bc i posted this during a previous mercury in retrograde. and although mercury was mostly gentle with me this time, this is still often how i feel about mercury retrogrades. 2. this is how i feel about the correct answer to the riddle, which is just stupid. 3. this is how i felt this morning after i stayed up late playing with my friends, and still had to get up at 5:30am. . i’m not posting the riddle bc it’s just not worth it, and i’m doing myself and y’all a favor. #thisboislife #thatswhatigetforfoolingaroundontheinternet #nexttimesaynotostupidriddles (at Tulum, Quintana Roo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvmi2g6BzgRVP_dQl-6iBMUoMeYFjnkH4fJDHs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18mu0jul4bnt5

my first post of 2019. it’s already been an adventure. i don’t even know how to articulate it all just yet. this pretty much describes what i’m over here quietly doing though. it’s a 9 year for me in numerology. all about completion, closing, clearing, and letting go. how exciting. and sometimes terrifying. mostly exciting though. so you’ll still be hearing from me, however, probably less than before. my full time job of healing myself takes up a lot of my time, and i’m a commitment to letting it. #gratefulforitall #thisboislife [ID: text reads: what you’ve been up to? Just redesigning my DNA. Freeing self of ancestral trauma. Mastering my soul lessons. You know, cultivating space for the abundance flow that i am. Grateful for it all.] (at Tulum, Quintana Roo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsb38tAh8L1HmRE-vaq2lK3zapq6CfmwOMBKEw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2zr9t45ch5el

Brag. Gratitude. Desire Challenge Day 22 Brag: two years ago today i got to be part of a badass caravan of qt/poc folks that drove over 16 hours from the bay to standing rock. despite the freezing cold, we were determined to answer the call to stand in solidarity with hundreds of indigenous tribes in protecting the sacred water, the land, and the sovereignty of the standing rock sioux tribe. ...
